I have been attending Akarmalife Studios for four years and have enjoyed and learnt so much from every class, 1:1 or workshop. I mostly attend Strength classes which are varied, energising (although not at the time!) and fun! I also attend Yoga and Release classes to ease my aching limbs after a run. All instructors are professional but encouraging and are always on hand with advice in and out of lessons. The 1:1s have enabled me to recover from running injuries faster and armed me with the tools to help me prevent injury in the first place. Would definitely recommend.

After visiting Akarmalife just once, I was hooked. Everyone is so friendly, and with it being a more personalised experience (rather than the larger generic fitness centres) the teachers really get to know what works for you and are able to recommend other classes that may be of specific interest or benefit to you. They were great at getting me through an injury that was physically and emotionally difficult for me to manage. I was expertly advised on how to modify my practice and their massage therapy was invaluable. I feel I have made a personal connection to many of the teachers, who all bring their own individuality. The joy it has brought me has inspired me to go on my own teaching journey. I would definitely recommend giving them a go.

I first met Stuart after suffering hip pain from running. By the time I saw him, it had sadly got to the point that I was unable run or even walk without being in pain. Following some challenging treatments for me (just feedback he said, and he was right 😆) good training advice and rehabilitation exercises I was back running within a few months. I was even able to complete the Great North Run, definitely a challenge both mentally and physically but a real personal achievement to which I am so grateful to him for. To complement my running, I also include yoga, strength and release. The benefits have been amazing, and I am now a stronger runner and relatively injury free. It’s been particularly challenging for everyone during lockdown but to be able to continue to train online with the team and all my akarmalife friends has been just great. I would like to thank all the teachers who provide a welcoming, happy and professional environment to train. So much knowledge in one place.

It’s not always easy to stay motivated to exercise but akarmalife movement studios must be one of the best places to encourage you to do so. There’s an individuality about the welcoming atmosphere and highly skilled, knowledgeable staff; clients are treated as individuals whose specific needs and goals are explored and supported. akarmalife is a dynamic environment driven by up-to-date learning about how our bodies move and a desire to pass this on in an accessible and inspiring way. Highly recommended!

I've been attending classes at akarmalife for over three years now and can highly recommend them. All of the teachers are very professional whilst also being friendly and approachable and happy to answer any questions. There is a great community feel at akarmalife, which can also be clearly seen in everything they put out through their social media. I've been so grateful for the 5x weekly free 20 minute classes during lockdown. I always feel that classes at akarmalife have a very positive impact on my physical and mental wellbeing.

I love akarmalife studios and have been attending classes now for many years. All of the instructors are friendly and professional and certainly know their stuff. There is a great range of classes to suit everyone. The online classes have been an absolute lifesaver during lockdown. Other members are also a great bunch.

I started with Akarmalife in October 2019 after realising that I needed to sort out my flexibility to fix my knee issues. Not only are my knees better but I have stuck to yoga in a way that I've never, ever stuck to any exercise before. The teachers are all talented and kind: pushing where they can but have never made me feel inadequate. What they have done over lockdown has been amazing. I've felt part of a community like never before. I cannot recommend them enough.

Extremely highly recommended, having enjoyed sports and fitness at multiple venues ,clubs etc in my 53 years & I can honestly say I have never before experienced such a community spirited environment.All of the teachers are first class, all very highly skilled & dedicated , extremely supportive and ever approachable. The range of options offered is excellent and complimented by a really flexible membership plan, with so much choice to try & experience there really is something for everyone, any level or age. As well as the multiple classes Ive also used the various therapy clinics, again expertly delivered with a focus on the individuals specific requirements. I really believe its a one off, a very special place and I cannot recommend the Karmalife team highly enough.

I love akarmalife! The team’s knowledge, energy and dedication is awesome. So is their compassionate and caring but deeply encouraging approach. That they are in a small town like Ampthill is far more than we could reasonably expect – normally you’d have to go to an expensive, top-flight studio in a big city to access such high levels of expertise. And always delivered in such a friendly and personable way, as they know us all individually, along with our little foibles and the injuries we may be carrying. If you’re unsure about anything, you only have to ask and you’ll always get an informed response. The wide range of classes offered, the frequent routine changes, and the personal training option means you’ll never get bored. I cannot recommend them enough!

I have been a regular member of classes at Akarmalife for almost seven years and have now attended almost every style of class with every teacher. Each one has been delivered with an exceptional level of expertise alongside a sense of genuine inclusion, versatility and collaboration with class attendees. Teaching is structured around the latest science with many classes specifically written in-house. It is also non-directive and non-prescriptive. For every invitation to a movement or posture, there are a range of adaptions offered, to accommodate individual ability and range, with support throughout on how to progress or retreat. Emphasis is always placed on safe practice; learning to notice and understand our own bodies and how they exist, function and move within space. The opportunity is there to push yourself out of your comfort zone to achieve maximum fitness, to take something more gentle and meditative, or anything in-between. Above all, Akarmalife has that genuine family friendly feel. It is so much more than a gym or an exercise studio. It is a place of community, well-being and fun fun fun. I honestly cannot recommend them enough.

Joined Akarmalife just prior to Lockdown with the hope of doing more Yoga, but having a bad case of Sciatica lead me to Stuart and the SRC. Not sure where I would be without him? His enthusiasm and knowledge have been most welcome and have given me more positivity that I can get back to some sort of fitness. The few classes that I have managed to attend have been excellent especially the release,rehab and mobilise class, which is actually quite entertaining, but most importantly very informative for an hour . Cheers Stuart and the team, keep up the good work !

We have been attending courses for about 18months and they have all been excellent. Our instructor has been Natalie and she has alwsys gone the extra mile to ensure we get the most out of every class. We have been very impressed with the way Akarmalife have taken the covid challenge firmly by the horns and worked to deliver online during lockdown periods. Thanks

I can't recommend Akarmalife enough. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and the classes are varied with something for every level. I've learned a lot from them about movement patterns and reprogramming, and they've supported me through recovery from an old injury. So glad to have found this gem.

There is something special about this place that you have to experience! As soon as I walk through the door of this Studio I feel calmer. There is always someone to welcome you in and the whole place is set up for complete mind and body re-patterning. The classes are varied and the teachers all offer a different experience every time you come :) This studio has everything you need to love your body including an extensive therapy centre offering the widest range of treatments depending on what you need. I have had Tui Na massage, sports massage, hot stone, Reiki and Injury Rehabilitation at the new Strength and Rehab Centre. I cannot speak highly enough of this Centre, it really is the hidden gem in Bedfordshire!

I have been a member for about 4 years now, it has been a real lifeline during the last year, I have even increased my membership. Wide variety of classes and always changing and evolving. They are even offering free morning classes. The teachers are fantastic always full of beans and encouraging. They can still see the faces I make on Zoom and I am still in trouble. Would thoroughly recommend.

This yoga studio feels like a home away from home. All the teachers are very friendly and know their stuff. There are lots of different classes available and a mixture of teaching styles, so there something for everyone.

Have been attending yoga classes here since the studio relocated to Ampthill and love the atmosphere and welcoming staff. Class tutors are extremely knowledgeable and supportive.

I've been going to tai chi and yoga classes with Akarmalife for two or three years now and the classes are great. Instructors are friendly and know their stuff - would definitely recommend!

This is a brilliantly run yoga/pilates studio with an integrated approach to fitness, health and well-being. Great classes and a number of other therapy treatments are available.
